Providing the opportunity to acquire a deeper knowledge of a key area of retailing management – managing the product range – this important text is essential reading for those studying retail management or buying and merchandising as part of a degree course.

stock level management

allocation of outlet space for products

store design

mail order shopping

digital TV shopping.

With learning objectives, boxed features, review questions, chapter introduction and summaries, a glossary of terms and international multi-sector case studies (including Reebok, Benetton, and The Body Shop), this significant text is a valuable reference for those involved in the retail sector.
